Before April 14, 1861, the Confederate States of America consisted of seven states: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. These states seceded from the Union in early 1861, with South Carolina being the first on December 20, 1860. They later formed the Confederacy in February 1861, which was established as a separate government. Additional states joined later, but these seven were the original members.
